  • App is not accessible

    This app is a waste of money. Just because I'm blind, doesn't mean I don't like going to see unique things throughout the nation. The buttons are not labeled on this app, the map is not accessible, there are no lists to scroll through, and it just seems like they did not put any care into properly coding this app. what a waste of money. It's not like I could preview the app for free before purchasing. I thought this was a sure thing. I'm extremely disappointed and cannot say just how much a waste of time this app is for anyone who isn't "normal. "Which is funny, since this app offers up the most abnormal things out there. well, just seems like this company doesn't care about the rest of us. Way to be inclusive, kids.

  • Where is “restore previous purchased”

    Original review: “I paid for access to the whole United States a few years ago and used it several times, but rarely used the app afterwards. I just noticed my app has updated and now I have no US access and it’s shows I need to pick a single free region. I do not see a button to “restore previous purchases”. What gives??!” Update:A few days after I posted the above initial review, the developer responded to my issue and after a couple of emails they figured out why I was having an issue (I had updated my email account) and told me how to resolve it. I’m up and running. I’m very impressed with a developer who took the time and effort to fix my problem on an app I purchased almost eight years ago. Excellent app and excellent Developer!
  • Awful App

    Paid for the app to try and find attractions on my cross country road trip but the app will not allow me to go more than 1000 miles even with regions open. Not worth it.
  • Favorite App for a trip
